Level of expertise in the discipline of Biblical Studies
After taking this course I feel that I definitely have a better understanding of the bible. Before, I never really read the bible and thought that whatever was preached in church was it. Little did I know that the scriptures read in church was only a little [...]

In bible studies I read a lot to understand many different views and moral concepts of the bible. I would prefer reading not just for the sake of studies but for the sake of the mind and soul. When reading the stories I have put some spirit in it when reading biblical text. First, I [...]

WOW!!! We finally made it to the last blog of the semester in Theology class. It has been a very long road and I thought I would never ever make it to week 15 blog. It is still unbelievable when you think about it. This spring semester in Theology has been very rough for me [...]

Xavier requires every student to take at least one theology course and I agree with this rule. Introduction to biblical studies is a course that is designed to give a brief over view of the bible. The goal is to go book by book and discuss the main points of that book and [...]

The implementation of my project is going well. I don’t really like to blog about it bc a lot of the things that we discuss in and out of session are personal and confidential and anybody on the web can have access to this blog. I will say that it is a lot harder than [...]

In this semester’s theology class, introduction to biblical studies, we had two main tasks. The first task was to engage in a weekly blog.
